He Wants To Spend His Birthday With His Biological Son Instead Of His Stepchildren, But His Wife Thinks It Is A Terrible Decision
This fifty-three-year-old man has been married to his wife for ten years now, and they both have children from previous relationships.
He has a biological son named Logan, who is twenty-eight; meanwhile, his wife has three children– a son who is sixteen and two daughters who are fourteen and twelve.
However, he does not view his stepchildren any differently than his biological son. In fact, he cares for them all like they are his own.
“I love my stepchildren so much. I call them my children, and they call me dad. They are amazing kids, and I am really proud of them,” he said.
But, he has been wrestling with a recent problem between his son Logan and his stepchildren– and it involves his birthday.
The issue stems back to the COVID-19 pandemic when Logan got stuck in another country. Of course, they still communicated via texts, calls, and video chat, but it was nowhere near the same as having his son with him in the same room.
Plus, even once air travel was reinstated, Logan had just received an amazing job opportunity and was unable to fly home. So, he was very understanding and proud but still forced to continue to communicate long-distance with his son.
Soon, though, Logan will be traveling to the United States on a business trip– and the week his son will be here just so happens to be the same week as his birthday. On top of that, Logan was allowed to request one day off and secured a free day to celebrate his birthday.
However, there is one big problem. Even though Logan will be traveling to a city near him, his son is unable to travel to his home in between work. So, he will be forced to travel to Logan at 5:00 a.m. and won’t get home until 10:00 p.m. on his birthday– which means his stepchildren will be left behind.

In the past, he and his stepchildren always had a great time celebrating his birthday.
“My birthdays are magical with them. Lots of fun, games, and food,” he recalled.
But, after not seeing Logan for so long, he was ecstatic to shake up his celebration. After mentioning the plan to his stepchildren, though, he realized they were really bummed out. Then, his stepson, Mike, even accused him of unfairly choosing his biological son over his stepchildren.
He was pretty upset by this comment but tried to explain how there was no way he could bring the stepchildren along with him for the trip. After all, his stepkids have school each morning and do not get home until about 3:00 p.m.
So, he ultimately just had to apologize and tell the kids that his decision to visit Logan was final. Nevertheless, his wife thought that he had made a terrible decision, too– and she let him have it later that night.
“My wife said I was a jerk and that I was no better than those step-parents who cast their stepchildren aside from their biological kids, and that she knows I have always loved Logan more,” he explained.
Still, he claims that his wife’s accusation is simply not true. Regardless, though, she still said that if he visits Logan, it will forever damage his relationship with his stepchildren. In turn, he has been left with an impossible decision– choosing between biological and stepchildren who he both loves and does not want to hurt.
But, just because he has not seen Logan in a very long time, he wants to stand by his decision to visit his biological son and is not sure if that makes him a total jerk.
Do you think he has a right to want to visit Logan after not seeing him for so long? What choice would you make in his shoes? If he does spend his birthday with Logan, do you think he will be able to reconcile the situation with his stepchildren?
